Twenty-five years ago, the Grand Rapids Symphony's Picnic Pops debuted with an explosion of symphonic sound echoing across the hills of Cannonsburg Ski Area topped off with a pyrotechnic display that lit up the sky above.

Before the opening of the Van Andel Arena, before Meijer Gardens launched its summer concert series, the Grand Rapids Symphony began making music in the great outdoors in July and August.
